Animal rights activists yesterday called on the government to ensure that
venues that host circus-type animal performances or are suspected of
engaging in animal cruelty cannot be certified as adequate sites for
environmental education.

Showing a video clip of children clapping while watching pigs jump
through hoops on fire, gaudily clad monkeys juggling, riding bicycles,
standing on their heads and tightrope walking, the activists said such
animal shows were performed in amusement parks across the nation.
